Wrong. "Still" infers that the demon recognizes that Dante is still a young person despite his reputation, which makes sense considering that demons can live far more than mortal beings. He even acknowledges that he doesn't recognize Dante's appearance until then and was surprised by it since all he knew was that he was a son of Sparda, something that you conveniently ommitted in your argument. Even the first thing the demon says is "Are you Dante?" which points to his lack of recognition towards Dante, in which again, you conveniently ommitted. Your explanation purposefully misconstrues the demon's dialogue with Dante and does not hold true to the context of the actual dialogue. Asking for confirmation doesnt mean that the demon didnt previously meet Dante. Nero asked Dante his name despite having met him and asked for his name.

Everything Dante says about him not being Tony goes out the window once the location of the box is revealed. In order to deduce the location of the box he would have to know:
 * That Ernest's current home is his childhood home
 * That Tony and Ernest hung out at that home
 * That they buried the box near the home
 * That they buried the box near a tree
 * That the tree survived the town burning down
 * And which tree out of the surrounding forest it was buried near.

None of that information was shown given to Dante and he would only know if he was there when it got buried.
